Drafting and Planning - Poster first Draft comparison.


Above is a poster for the film, The Blair Witch Project. The film is about a group of young adults who go into this forest where a supposed witch lives, so they go to find her. As the film goes on, its reveals the witch is real as one by one the characters go missing. When I first saw this poster, I thought that it was pretty simple and thought maybe too simple. But the more I looked at it, the more I thought how sinister it looked. I think the edit makes the image really sinister with the shadows in between the trees signifying that perhaps they wont find their way out or that something or someone could be watching them without them knowing. I had already collected the photos that I wanted to use for my poster and felt that the image shown below could work well in creating a similar product. So using Paint.net, I changed the, brightness, saturation and added a few effects which created many dark shadows within the image. I thought that by doing this, It would portray the similar idea that something or someone was hiding in the woods. I kept the text simple so that the image was the main focus point. I like this poster idea but will try a few others with different photos I have taken to get a better idea.
